Loose bee painting
A garden wouldn’t be a garden without bees buzzing around! And adding bees to a flower painting can be a fun way to inject extra energy and life into a composition. In this loose bee painting mini class, guest tutor Jennifer Rose will give you an overview of the steps to follow to paint a loose style bee in watercolor.
You can follow these if you’re adding a little bee to a painting. Or if you’d like to make the bee the main subject of your painting, you can download a line drawing, reference photo and paint list – and watch the full step-by-step video for FREE – by signing up to the free class taster selection.
Watch a quick overview of the process here:

And if you love bees, there are some more mini classes where you can paint this larger than life honey bee, full of close-up details and a small honey bee that could fit well into most compositions.
